What if I forgot the master PIN code?
Double-press the“RES”button on the interior assembly, and you will hear a system prompt saying, 'Factory settings restored; The PIN code is too simple. Please promptly modify the master PIN code'. (Note: restoring the lock to default settings will erase all stored fingerprints, PIN codes, and key tag information.)
Can facial recognition distinguish between twins?
In general, it is quite challenging, especially with identical twins. Due to their nearly identical genetics, identical twins have very similar appearances, which can lead to potential misidentifications in facial recognition, especially at longer distances. Additionally, in the mobile phone industry, facial recognition modules may struggle to differentiate between twins within a 0.5-meter range. Given the relatively low occurrence of twins and their typical familial relationships, the security threat to users is relatively small. If security concerns persist, it is advisable to activate dual verification mode, verifying both facial features and other unlocking methods such as fingerprints or PIN codes.
How to use dual verification mode or security mode?
Dual verification mode, also known as security mode, can be enabled or disabled in the master mode following voice prompts. Once dual verification is activated, the door lock requires the use of two enrolled unlocking methods for access, such as fingerprint + PIN code, PIN code + key tag, fingerprint + key tag, PIN code + facial ID, and more. To activate dual verification mode, users must enroll at least two or more distinct unlocking methods.
What is hidden PIN code?
The hidden PIN code, also known as Anti-Peeping Code, allows users to add multiple digits before and after the correct PIN code. By ensuring that the middle digits form a consecutively correct PIN code, it confuses onlookers, preventing them from confirming the actual PIN code.

How to do preventive maintenance?
(1) Regularly use a soft, clean cloth to wipe the surface of the door lock, ensuring it stays clean and shiny over the long term. Avoid using water, alcohol, or corrosive chemicals to clean the door lock surface to prevent damage or corrosion.
(2) Do not mix alkaline batteries of different brands or use new and used batteries together. Periodically check the batteries for oxidation, and if any is found, promptly replace them to prevent battery leakage and corrosion of the internal lock structure.
